Voice AI ROI Calculator: How Much Revenue Are You Losing?

Small businesses across America are hemorrhaging revenue every single day - not from poor service or bad products, but from something much simpler: missed phone calls.

The Hidden Cost of Missed Calls

According to recent studies, 70% of customers won't leave a voicemail when they can't reach a business. They simply hang up and call the next company on their list. For service-based businesses, this represents a massive leak in their sales funnel.

Calculate Your Lost Revenue

Here's a simple formula to calculate how much revenue you're losing from missed calls:

Lost Revenue = (Missed Calls per Week × 52 weeks) × Average Customer Value × Conversion Rate

Example Calculation:

  • HVAC Company: 15 missed calls/week × 52 = 780 missed calls/year
  • Average job value: $2,500
  • Typical conversion rate: 30%
  • Annual lost revenue: 780 × $2,500 × 0.30 = $585,000
